I had a few jokes in mind for the star wars buffs at cons. One was a giant band-aid down my front, cause, you know, Hon was saber-happy and he sliced me open. I escaped and repaired myself. I'm recovering. I thought people would think that was cute.
The second joke involves me spraying myself here and there with some type of perfume. Something very subtle and not overbearing for the sensitive people that can't take such harsh smells. The mere act of putting on perfume would reference a line Hon Solo stated about Tauntauns smelling bad enough on the outside and worse on the inside. I'm a self-conscious Tauntauners, so I know our reputation. I mean to put it in the ground. I smell nice! I'm pretty, and floofy, and pleasant!
The third one was to construct a good-sized Hon Solo or Luke Skywalker backpack to wear on my back like they're reining me around, but they're practical and they hold water bottles, my camera, tickets, phone, or whatever else, I need. I need to find a pattern for a doll or just find a small parka that's about the same color as the one's in the movie, for a small child and fit it to a teddy-bear-sized stuffed animal or stuffed person. Maybe something larger for a better effect. I do know how to convert stuffed animals and anything plush into a backpack compartment, complete with straps. I could go even further and make myself a bridle and saddle to fit to this backpack, which would just be for the SnowBun-Buns.
I could do all three of those at once or just one. Either way, I think someone there would be witty enough to know the tale behind why I was doing it and get a tickle from it.
Which joke would work best? I like the band-aid idea, personally, but I always liked to lug around a backpack of any sort so the Tauntaun Jockey idea is cute to me as well. I think it's a cute accessory and prop, even.
SMELLS.
I was looking up a rather old thread about someone making their koala suit smell of the native leaves the koala eats. I'm interested in smelling quite pleasant because I like nice smelling things. Since Tauntauns are on a snowy planet all year long and the planet is pretty much nothing BUT snow and blizzard, all year long, what is an appropriate smell that I could bask my suit in for the future cons? Since the cons are in the spring, I don't know if a winter-based scent would make any sense, but tauntauns are in the snow-a lot. I know this would cancel out my perfume joke, but maybe not. The bottle could be empty and I just act out, like you're supposed to in a suit.
Winter-based scent, not necessarily Christmas oriented
Vanilla
Butterscotch
Sugar Cookie
Snow Storm(I don't know if this is a simulation of a real snow-storm or its manufactured to be some made up scent that will remind you of a snow storm, somehow)
And how do I go about getting the body suit to smell like this? Or, do I need the whole suit to smell at all? What about just hand paws, neck and chest area for when people hug? I would like the whole suit to have a nice smell, though, just not something too overpowering.
